To Mr Green B. Raum
Mr Commissioner:
Dear Sir; Yours of Jan 19 th saying there are "several Doles carried on the Pension rolls" leads me to think that some of my ancestors may be among them, as all the Doles sprang from one root one Richard Dole who emigrated to this Country in- (originally from the town of Dole) (Brelange France to England) to America —

1689 - and 2 settled at New- berry Mass - He became the founder of a numerous race some of whom have distinguished themselves in various lines of life - The late Commission Dole was one of the descendants. To Samuel Dole, Amos Dole, Chris Dole, Greenleaf Dole, David Dole, Apphia Dole or Moses Dole on record as having been in any capacity in the American

Revolutionary war, or in the war of 1812. Samuel Dole was born in March 1724- " " died 1795-
" " " " " " Amos Dole Born — 1733 Died 1816
" " " " " " Oliver Dole Born — 1768 " " Died 1817
" " " " " " Greenleaf Dole Born 1791 " " Died 1834.
" " " " " " David Dole 1756 - Jan 29 1825 Don't know when he died. m

Appia Dole - Born 1730 " " Died 1795
Moses Dole" born 1750 " " Died 1860.
If you have other names in your records could I examine files and copy them, or can it be done in the office, since no doubt any or perhaps all of them are my kith and kin
